Such disconnected nuances reveal a truth that formal history can hardly capture, and they are in absolute contrast to the craft of acting. In the Guinness film, Eva Braun was played as a glamour puss, vaguely resembling Dominique Sanda. The real version was otherwise: a giggling, curly blonde Aryan squaw, smooching with a rabbit, proudly doing calisthenics on the beach of the Konigssee, or coquettishly persuading the Scourge of History to screen Gone With the Wind just once again because she loves Clark Gable.

Hollywood, which experienced something of a motorcycle and Volkswagen phase a couple of years ago, is back to glamour cars with a vengeance. Last year 120 Rolls-Royces were sold in Beverly Hills alone. Polly Bergen traded in her new Mercedes for a one-of-a-kind 1957 Bentley convertible, while Dick Martin and Elvis Presley have bought $35,000 Stutz Blackhawks.

When he became TIME'S Hollywood correspondent and began hobnobbing with stars, Whiting's fantasies became reality-for a time, anyway. During...
...liberal side stands Albert Blumenthal, 43, a skilled legislator who is assistant minority leader of the New York state assembly. Whoever wins will have to be a far different mayor from Lindsay. He will doubtless have less glamour or elan, and New York will sorely miss that. But he will have to be more attentive to administrative detail, more willing to bargain with the multitude of stridently competing groups that make up the city and are presently most unhappy with...
